Exact speed varies depending on the system configuration, software application, driver, and document complexity. 2Exact speed varies depending on the system configuration, software application, driver and document complexity. 3Duty cycle is defined as the maximum number of pages per month of imaged output. This value provides a comparison of product robustness in relation to other HP LaserJet or HP Color LaserJet devices, and enables appropriate deployment of printers and MFPs to satisfy the demands of connected individuals or groups. 4HP recommends that the number of printed pages per month be within the stated range for optimum device performance, based on factors including supplies replacement intervals and device life over an extended warranty period. 5Toner cartridge yields established using ISO/IEC test standards. Actual yields and costs vary considerably depending on images printed, number of color pages printed, and other factors. 6Configuration tested: HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551dn bundle tested simplex printing, A4 paper at an average of 32 ppm. 7Power requirements are based on the country/region where the printer is sold.
